Be careful. I'm not hearing much good. This is from the website regarding their required payment methods...

What payment options does Direct Printers offer?

We offer moneygram, western union, bank transfer, and paypal.

I gotta ask... can a cmyk (cymb in this case) actually print white?
..because i know that you dont mix colours to get white., so how can it print on black?

My guess here is that "b" stands for "bleach", you get white by bleaching the garment, so with this printer you actually using only 3 colors and by mixing it creates the missing black.

Yea but I thought bleaching a black garment will make it pink or color they originally dyed to be black
also without K or black in cost be outrageous and colors need black to look right.
Black is used with other colors to mae them pop more, that thing look like a jumbo toaster on cr$ck

That site clearly states the color B is black ink, at the bottom of that ebay listing someone asked the question if it prints on dark garments and the answer from them was no it does not. So No that machine does not print on dark garments. What is also funny on that listing is the machine that is printing in the video as an example is not even the same machine that is listed

If it sounds too good to be true..it usually is. Sixty four years of life experience have taught me to believe it.

that someone might be me. regretly, i was stupid enough to buy the machine for testing. i think that printer is from this web site -> t-shirt printing,t-shirt printer,custom t-shirts,black t-shirt printer,t-shirt design,screen printing,t-shirt screen printing


as i mentioned before, believe me, do not buy it. but if you just wanted to waste your money for testing, that's your choice.

the model i bought, they modified from lexmark printer. they even did not use textile ink. they used the same ink which printing papers! how the ink sticks on t-shirt was because they used sticky liquid like glue to spray on t-shirt before printing.

however, i don't know the machanism of the new model which is able to print on black t-shirt but i think it would be the same experience.


hope this helps.
